DAN-AIR de Havilland Comet 4C G-APDN at Gatwick Airport

DAN-AIR de Havilland Comet 4C G-APDN at Gatwick Airport. DAN-AIR started life as Davies and Newman Airlines after the two founders. (this could well be the Comet 4C I flew from Gatwick to Venice on in 1972, to join the SS Nevasa for an educational Mediterranean cruise). Coincidentally I boarded Nevasas sister ship the SS Uganda at Port Stanley in December 1984 on Its penultimate trooping voyage before being scrapped. Date: circa 1970
